Chapter 274 Buying Jade

Xiaocao has not seen as much of the world as Sister Yu, and she is obviously a little nervous. Fortunately, Sister Yu is a familiar person. She took Xiaocao's hand and said, "Sister Xiaocao, let's go to the house to play. My father bought it for me." It’s a nine-ring chain, let’s play with that.”

The two little girls held hands and entered the house. Mr. Zhou came out of the house and said to Gu Fei: "I was just looking for you. Don't you want to buy jade? Then Lao Zheng is back and just got a batch of goods. I I’ll take you to see it.”

Sister Dan hurriedly said: "Xiao Fei, just go and Xiao Cao will let me play here. I will send it to you after dinner."

She was worried about who Mr. Zhou would go out with, but she was relieved when he went out with Gu Fei.

As long as he doesn't want to die, he won't dare to take Xiao Fei's advice.

Of course, Xiao Fei doesn’t like this guy from her family either.

“That’s it, then I’ll go with Brother Zhou.”

The two of them went out and walked along Furong Street without getting into the car.

After turning a corner and reaching another street, Mr. Zhou took Gu Fei into an alley not far away. He walked to a dark door and knocked on it. While knocking, he shouted, "Old Zheng, it's me, Zhou." Kun.”

After a while, an old man came over and opened the door, "The master is inside, please come in."

Gu Fei and Mr. Zhou entered the courtyard. As they were looking at it, a middle-aged man came out of a room and said, "Is this girl going to buy jade?"

Mr. Zhou nodded, "Old Zheng, this is my sister. Please get something real and the price should be real."

Old Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, girl, come with me."

A few people walked to the backyard. Lao Zheng opened the door of a room and saw that it was filled with jade materials.

Old Zheng pointed at the pile of jade and said, "This is what I got back from the Western Regions this time. I almost died on the road for this little thing."

“There is a severe drought in the northwest counties, and there are people dying of hunger everywhere, and there are refugees everywhere. Fortunately, I don’t have food here, otherwise they would have been robbed long ago.”

 Gu Fei looked at the jade stones, some cyan and white, but the skin had only been peeled off. The jade had not been polished and had no luster.

Gu Fei sold it just to feed the space, and he didn't care about the luster. He said: "I don't know how to choose this. Do you think this will work? I have three thousand taels of silver here, and I don't want too much. You can take care of it." Just give me the money."

This is the first time Lao Zheng has seen people buying jade like this. They don't want good quality, and they don't choose the color or water quality. This means they calculate it in piles.

He was in trouble, and Mr. Zhou came yesterday and quietly handed him a message, saying that this girl was under the protection of the prince.

It is unjustifiable to send this jade away, but even if it is given, three thousand taels of silver cannot buy it much.

Lao Zheng thought for a while and chose a few medium-sized pieces of Hetian white jade and a few pieces of Hetian jasper. He estimated that this thing would be worth at least four thousand taels if put on the market.

Especially now that there is a severe drought in the northwest. It is not known how long the drought will last. It is not as convenient as before to do business there, and the cost has also increased. The price of jade will definitely rise in the next two years.

Of course, the purchase price of these was just over 2,000 taels of silver, so it was not a loss if he sold them to Gu Fei, but he really didn’t make much profit, mainly because the cost of hiring an **** along the way was not small.

Lao Zheng said: "If you take these out, I can sell them for at least four thousand taels of silver. However, since she is Mr. Zhou's sister, I will give you three thousand taels, just to make a friend."

Gu Fei didn't hesitate, "Okay, thank you very much Uncle Zheng, then I'll give you some money."
